that he had brought about the change by
combining himself exclusively to meat
diet-in other words, that Col. Ingersoll
had cut off from his list of edibles all vege-
table matter OF every kind. The cure GER
tainly does not seem to have been at all per
manent. The great hereto orator Is latter
than he ever was before i'll his life, and
moreover, he has grown rapidly old. As he
walks from place to place his shoulders
stoop forward. and his clothes hang upon
him ungracefully, and as though they had
been made for some other man. lngersoll,
with all his superahundance of tissue, used
to be rather natty and elegant beng.
Now he looks more or less slouchy and care
less, and he has also grown serious IN hls
manner In former days his face beamed
continually with smile of broad and ex-
pansive proportions. Now he goes along,
with his hands folded behind him, his eyes
fixed upon the pavement and an expression
of deep and solemn meditation upon his
countenance. He brightens up, however,
when he meets anybody he knows, and the
old look of geniality comes back into his
face. 50
They do say that after Ingersoll had his
severe illness last winter he has not been the
same man in the bright and airy carelessness
of his daily life do not mean by this that
there has been any alteration in his views
of the hereafter. 1t is merely that his man
ner has changed and that he has grown to
take more solemn and less light view of
things. He was a pretty sick man during
that illness of his, and a good many of his
friends thought he would never get well
enough TO resume the practice of his pro
fession. He is, however, busily engaged in
his law offices, and when the fall term of
court opens he will be one of the busiest
employed attorneys in New York. lnger-
soils practice is enormous and probably
nets him larger income than is commanded
by any other lawyer in New York, barring
Roscoe Conkling, who they say is taking
close to S200,00 year in fees. Ingersoll
is the attorney for Mackay, Stokes, and that
clique of operators in telegraph companies,
and his income from that source alone is
large enough TO enable him to live in the
most expensive and gorgeous style. lnger-
soil himself is not great spendthrltt, but
what he lacks in this direction his daughters
make up 1t is said in New York that they
elbow in' very large sums annually in the
ways which women most delight to follow,
and the big dry goods stores profit to very
| large extent from the lngersoll family, year
in and year out The Ingersolls occupy a
handsome mansion on Fifth avenue when
they are in town. The members of the
| family, believe, are away just at present
| at some one of the summer resorts, but the
head of the home, so to speak, prefers to re-
main in New York and apply himself to his
| law cases

THE ART OF DRESS CUTTING.
How 1t is Taught to Pupils for Small
Sum.

Sum.
NEW York, Sep 3.-The tyranny of pro-
fessional dressmakers, their misfts, their
high prices, have SO worn out the patience
and exhausted the purses of women at large
that the new movement which aims to make
every woman her own dressmaker is meet
ing with enormous success in England
There are several firms in London, all | be-
lieve American, who profess to teach dress
cutting by means OF the chart, or accord
ing to Euclid" the measurement of the fig
uIe at certain points indicating that which
it should be at other points, and so with
neck, sleeve, etc. / remember my mother
buying one of these charts of a travelling
expositor of their merits some thirty odd
years ago in Cincinnati. She never was
able to utilize her purchase and ever after
labored under the impression that Euclid
and the man who sold him had both sold
her. Far be it from me to insinuate that
the present-day systems have anything in
common with tho unmanageable sheet of
cardboard which caused my dear parent so
much disappointment and vexation in days
gone by nevertheless, | believe it is con-
coded that it is not given TO every one to
master the art of dress cutting. But who
is to know which mind will prove rebelious
against tuition and which will absorb in
struction as easily as Mark Twain assures
us the otter dispenses otter OF rosesF For
tunately. for the instructors in the science
of dress cutting by chart, no woman can
tell whether it will prove failure or sue

AS Col. Ingersoll Gets Older he Grows
More Serious.

Another well-known figure that sauntered
I'D to Mr.. Mackay's table the other evening
and remained there for moment or two
was that of Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll, whose
face and form are familiar to at least nine
tenths of the metropolitan populaee. As
ne walks along the street eight out OF every
ten people turn around and stare after him,
and the only reason why the other two do
not follow the same course lies in tho fact
that they are 80 well acquainted with Inger-
soils presence as not 10 feel any further
curiosity about him. Ingersoll has changed
remarkably within the past year. Az that
distance back he had succeeded IN reducing
himself until from Q noticeably feshy man
lie had come down 10 the ordinary portly
proportions. The theory was given out

A gentlemen from the country hailed
Col. T. w. Thurman, a well known Griffin
attorney, on the streets yesterday, and on
coming UP with him, said:
Colonel, I want little legal advice,
which ! am not able to pay for, and which
hope you will give me-"
Very WE'LL said the Colonel, 81 am
always willing TO give advice free, especially
on the street, and to my friends. What is
it you want to know"

working the roads, said the gentleman.
LET me tell you, my friend" said the
Colonel, "about twenty-odd gears ago the
Yankees shot off one of my legs. and I've
never had to work the roads since. The
best way to get out of road duty is for you
TO go and have one of your legs cut off,"

dered in favor of the heirs Of Mr.. Bas-
sett and the partner, Mr.. Emery.
During all these years the application
for patent by Mr.. Emery and the
Bassett heirs has been stubbornly re-
sisted by the adverse claimants but
within the last few dacs Mrs. Bassett
received word from Mr.. Emery that the
patent has at last been granted and
would be in her hands shortly after the
first of January. The property is very
valuable, having been estimated at 3d.
100000, one-half of which belongs to
Mrs. Bassett and her children, six sons
and two daughters, all of whom, except
two, reside in Ketchum.
We congratulate the family on their
good fortune, and trust that there will
be no further difficulty in securing un-
disputed possession of the valuable
property.

Abner Bassett went to the golden state
and in company with J 8. Emery pnr-
chased a Spanish grant comprising
about % squsre miles Of land on Carmel
Bay, seven miles from Monterey Sub
sequently other claimants nppeaYed and
tedious litigation followed. In 1870
Mr.. Bassett died In Nevada leaving bis

Mr.. P. r. Robert, Superintendent of
the Standing Elk mine, came in yester-
day from Bullion and left last night for
the East on q months vacation. From
him we learn that the furnace closed

which produced 1877 tons of bullion and
